GAUGE:
17 sts + 24 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Teddy Cardigan Reviewed by stones2ptdnet on 2010-07-11
Pattern directions were very poor at the neck edge decreases. Had to rip out several times before I figured out that the pattern needed correction. Also the lack of buttonhole directions caused me to begin again after reading the corrections.Very discouraging. I will look for patterns elsewhere from now on.
